Hi,

 

 

I'm using the File Geodatabase API reader to get data out of a file geodatabase. However, I get no results back. I've read in the manual that the File Geodatabase API supports only a couple of coordinate systems, and I'm guessing the one my data is in (EPSG:28992) is not one of them, because it works fine when I reproject the data to LL84 before loading it into the database. So... long story short, can anybody confirm my suspicion, or point me to a list of supported coordsys?

Hi,

 

 

it seems the GDB API is limited to the same coordinate systems supported by the latest version of ArcGIS, i.e. no custom coordinate systems.

 

 

I just verified both writing and reading a feature to a file GDB using EPGS:28992 without any problems, using FME2013sp2 with ArcGIS 10.0 installed. So I suspect your problems lies elsewhere.

Hi Hans,

 

 

I have just read a gdb via the API , the data (in RD NEW) is read accordingly.

 

So I guess your problem is something else.....

Ah yes... the good old coordinate system naming issue... The data was in the correct coordsys, it just had a different name... CoordinateSystemSetter seems to do the trick. Thanks David!
